Pelicans 03·19·09

Drove south through the fog and parked right off the highway, hopeful, even though you could barely see the waves coming in through all the grey. Nobody out except for a pod of dolphin and three pelicans working in unison to attack a school of bait-fish simultaneously from above and below. We suited up and jumped in and scored big time, sorta. It was pure glass, not a ripple, and most of the waves were in the waist-high level and super fun, and every now and then a monster shoulder-high would materialize from the foggy horizon and we traded waves till past dark. This is a pretty below average photo taken after getting out of the water, but it paints the mood perfectly…this not so secret but very empty spot tonight was a beacon of light in an otherwise dark waveless wilderness, and we got it good (or at least a whole lot better than i expected). I had a great day, a wonderful lunch in the park, and beautiful evening session with a dear friend…wouldn’t mind putting today on repeat!
